Futurestay’s website creator helps property managers design websites using different themes, styles, layouts and content. It provides a guest management feature that helps users maintain a record of customer contact information, payment details and other related information. The solution offers an Autopilot feature in which administrators can automate the reservation process, manage guest interactions and create online listings on different platforms.

Futurestay’s dashboard provides a centralized display of bookings, guest information, special offers and other details. The calendar management feature allows users to track bookings and synchronize reservations with listing channels such as HomeAway, VRBO, AirBnB and Wimdu.

The vacation rental solution is priced on a per month subscription basis. Support is available via phone, email and a knowledge base.

Overall, from Free vacation/property management systems that I tested and tried out this is the one I use now for myself and recommend everyone to try out. This is perfect for those that just started renting on Airbnb, Booking, TripAdvisor or already have few properties under their belt. They also work on new features and improve the existing ones which is a big plus.
Futurestay answers phone calls and emails, very responsive and helpful. This was a strong point for me switching and staring using Futurestay instead of all the others!

Pros

- Free Channel Manager & Distribution for Airbnb, Booking and Home Away Family (over 30 sites). Distribute your properties to multiple platforms.2 Way Calendar Synchronization for the main Platforms and iCal option for any other you have.

- Automatic Import of existing listings without. They will create listings for you if you don't have existing ones.

- Payment Processing - Charge your Booking.com & HomeAway guests for booking and get money 20-30days before they even check-in!

- Free Vacation Rental Website with payment integration.

-FREE - Its totally free, you don't pay anything, they just add 5% on top of your desired listing price and when somebody books they see the final price. Example: you want to get clean 50e on Airbnb, you put 52e to account for Airbnb fee, Futurestay adds 5% on top of 52 which is 2.6 and the final listing price that is shown to guests is 55e.

-Support - Best customer support I saw from any of the Vacation Rental Management Systems. They answer phone calls and emails, very responsive and helpful.

- Constantly improving and adding new features

Cons

The only Con I can think of is the lack of more Channel Distributions, but more will come in future!

I manage 3 cottages and use Futurestay to connect to Booking.com. Great support and help!

It made it easier to manage my rental property.

Pros

The product is easy to use and they have a good support team. You can speak with them via chat, phone or email. I also like how automated the connections are and how it handles pricing.

Cons

I'd like to have an android app also so I can handle guest checkin with my phone. Sometimes the mobile website doesn't have all of the functions I want.
